18 Pics That Show Animals Have the Most Genuine Hearts

No matter how cranky or needy our pets can sometimes get, their hearts are always filled with love and nothing else. Cats doing something silly to cheer up their humans, dogs adopting stray kittens, and a duck taking care of its chicks are just some of a million deeds animals can do that make us love them even more.

We at Bright Side found pictures of animals showing their unconditional love and couldn’t resist sharing them with all of you.
